2. Update 4 letters for min prefix length

PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party review team decided for several reason to increase the Prefix All Globals to 4 characters. You can also join the discussion in the GitHub if you want to add any input.

Also, you can join the discussion for changing in WordPress coding standards. @davidperez said that it will be merged to 3.2.0.

To make the consistency in themes and plugins, we need to make the guidelines for 4 characters prefixing. Comment down below if you have any other thoughts. Personally, I think that it is good to have 4 letters prefixing. We can set the standard for the prefixing.

3. Twenty Twenty-Five theme development

During the meeting @poena shared the status of the theme development. She said, “the work has started on almost all patterns, and the leads are reviewing the pull requests as fast as we can”.

2. Finding the theme name – MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. ticket discussion

Few days back, @mmaattiiaass created a ticket, #7741 (Provide a tool to know if a theme name or slug is available and can be used in the theme directory) – Making WordPress.org And we discussed based on this during the meeting.

During the meeting, @poena shared a ticket link created around 7 years ago. #3002 (Interface for authors to find active installs for a potential theme name) – Making WordPress.org So, the issue was raised a long time ago.

@kafleg commented in both the tickets so that the conversation will be accessed easily on those both tickets.

During the meeting, attendees agreed to write a draft about how to find the unique theme name. @greenshady is happy to help with the outline and the draft. Instead of making a tool, proper information in the theme developer handbook will help theme authors find the unique name.

3. Open Floor

On the open floor, Justin asked about updating the Make Themes handbook and the potential for a specific meeting around that. KafleG is currently collecting the ideas. He will gather the ideas and plan for this dedicated meeting soon.

@digamberpradhan raised a concern about the WordPress playground and demo options. He will organize his thoughts and post at https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/issues

@luminuu is interested in leading the themes table during WCUS contributor dayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/..
